Amos 5:18-20

GNT

NIV

18 How terrible it will be for you who long for the day of the Lord! What good will that day do you? For you it will be a day of darkness and not of light.
18 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light.
19 It will be like someone who runs from a lion and meets a bear! Or like someone who comes home and puts his hand on the wall - only to be bitten by a snake!
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.
20 The day of the Lord will bring darkness and not light; it will be a day of gloom, without any brightness.
20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
